01 What makes it unique
Off Grid Trailers lists the Expedition 3.0 at 2,200 lb dry, a GVWR of 3,500 lb and a tongue weight of 300 lb. Off Grid Trailers prints no cargo carrying capacity for it, so none is given here; the federal label inside the trailer carries one.
It is 166 IN long. Off Grid Trailers prints its tanks as 31 gal fresh.
Among the 4 Off Grid Trailers floorplans Off Grid Trailers’s Off Grid Trailers buying guide on offgridtrailers.com (no model year stated) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 3 from the lightest, in a range from 1,200 lb (Sprocket 3.0) to 2,300 lb (Pando 3.0). Every figure in that comparison is Off Grid Trailers’s, read from the same set of model pages.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Off Grid Trailers’s own Off Grid Trailers buying guide on offgridtrailers.com (no model year stated) for the Expedition 3.0, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.
How the Expedition 3.0 differs from the other three Off Grid Trailers floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.6%: largest of four; next is the Pando 3.0 (13.5%).

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (3,500 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (525 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Off Grid Trailers does not publish for the Expedition 3.0
Off Grid Trailers prints no cargo carrying capacity, tire size, interior height, grey-tank, black-tank, sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
